北米版ファイアーエムブレム聖魔の光石 "the Sacred Stones" の支援会話（ロス/ジスト）。

Support level C

Ross

Um... Ahem.▼
Are you Sir Gerik by any chance?▼

Gerik

What do you want, boy?▼

Ross

Oh, my name is Ross.
I'm the son of warrior Garcia.▼

Gerik

I see......
So, Ross, are you an axeman?▼

Ross

Yeah! Don't be fooled by my appearance.
I'm actually pretty good.▼

Gerik

Ha ha ha! If you say so.▼

Ross

Well, I think so.
But it's important to keep improving.▼

Gerik

Why is that so important to you?▼

Ross

My father is such an amazing warrior.▼
I've always wanted to be worthy of
the title "son of Garcia"▼
And I want to be able to go home and
rebuild my village.▼
After that, I want to go on a voyage and
train in the open ocean. ▼
And after that, I'd like to go back home.▼
To do all this, I need to be the best
warrior I can be.▼

Gerik

Those are admirable goals.
I'll help you out sometime.▼

Ross

How? You'll give me a lesson?
Are you serious? That's great!▼

Gerik

I might not be able to beat your father,
but I could teach you a thing or two.▼
Why don't you try landing a hit on me?▼

Ross

That'd be great! But before we start,
let me go practice on those guys first!▼

Gerik

It's great that he's so eager to learn,
but he's really not ready to go solo yet!▼

Support level B

Gerik

Ross, didn't you say that you wanted to go
on an ocean voyage to train yourself?▼
The sea is a great place to train because
it strengthens both the mind and body.▼

Ross

Have you ever been on a voyage?▼

Gerik

Of course. I've escorted many commercial
ships before.▼
It's embarrassing, but I got seasick for
the first few days.▼
That was very painful.
But I got used to it in a few days.▼
It was a long trip. Mother Nature was more brutal
than the enemies who pursued us.▼
But after the voyage ended, I realized that
I grew up a lot.▼
The sea is an amazing combination of
brutality and expansiveness.▼

Ross

Now I definitely want to go on a
sea voyage.▼

Gerik

By the way, Ross, how's your injury from
our last session?▼

Ross

Oh, that little thing? It healed right up!▼

Gerik

Ha ha ha...
You sure are tough, boy!▼

Ross

Sir Gerik?▼

Gerik

Yes?▼

Ross

What should I do to be strong like you?▼

Gerik

That's a tough question... I would
have to say that it's all in the mind.▼

Ross

Mind?▼

Gerik

If your desire to win is stronger than your
opponent's, you have already won.▼
Your mind is your most important weapon.▼

Ross

Come to think of it, I have noticed that.
At our last lesson, before we even started,
I was thinking that I could never win.▼
I guess it was like admitting defeat before
even trying.▼
All right! You've convinced me!▼
I'll start strengthening my mind as well
as my axe skills.▼
Thank you, Sir Gerik.
I can't wait until our next lesson!▼

Gerik

His energy is refreshing, but I must teach
him patience next time.▼

Support level A

Ross

Hey, Sir Gerik...▼

Gerik

What is it, Ross? You seem down today.▼

Ross

Why is the sword stronger than the axe?▼

Gerik

What are you talking about?
Just use a stronger axe to beat a sword.▼

Ross

That's not what I mean!▼
I want to be strong enough to split
a silver sword with an iron axe.▼

Gerik

Your father...▼

Ross

What about him?▼

Gerik

He could defeat many swordsmen
with just one axe.▼

Ross

So you've seen him in battle?▼

Gerik

Just once.
He was leading a unit of the Renais army.▼
He was swinging his axe at the front line.▼

Ross

Wow, my dad was really strong, wasn't he!▼

Gerik

He was more than just strong.
He was like a war god.▼
I have to be honest with you, Ross.
I was on his enemy side at the time.▼

Ross

What?!▼

Gerik

I was a mercenary hired by the other side.▼
It was a fierce battle against Garcia's
unit, and we ultimately had to retreat.▼
Come to think of it, this is a perfect
example of the power of the mind.▼
You see, I was so intimidated by Garcia that
I had lost even before I started.▼
That was an unforgettable faliure for me.▼
After that, I swore myself that I would
be as strong as him with a sword.▼

Ross

Wow, I can't believe Dad beat you down
like that! He's the greatest.▼
But you're pretty great too.▼

Gerik

Someone who lost to your father?▼

Ross

Yeah!▼
You might have lost that time, but you
became a great swordsman because of it!▼
OK. I'm going to stop moping around.▼
From this moment on, I swear that someday
I will destroy swords with axe.▼
You are my witness, Sir Gerik!▼

Gerik

Truly, you are the son
of the warrior Garcia.▼

Ross

That's not all! I'm also the best student of
the master swordsman Gerik!▼

Gerik

When did you become my student?▼

Ross

When I met you!
Oh! enemy detected!▼
I'll catch you later!
Give me another lesson someday, Sir Gerik.▼
I'll be much stronger by then, and maybe
I'll win a match with you!▼

Gerik

I believe he will surpass Garcia someday.▼
